Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and arrangement in a base station and to a method and arrangement in a user equipment. In particular, it relates to a mechanism for precoding data.
  • Multi-antenna techniques can significantly increase the data rates and reliability of a wireless communication system.
  • the performance is in particular improved if both the transmitter and the receiver are equipped with multiple antennas, which results in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication channel and such systems and/or related techniques are commonly referred to as MIMO systems.
  • MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
  • Precoding is a promising technique among multi-antenna schemes to improve throughput performance.
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • there are two basic methods to obtain the precoder one is codebook-based and the other is non-codebook-based precoding.
  • a set of precoder candidates, a codebook is pre-defined on both eNodeB i.e. base station and user equipment (UE) sides.
  • the UE selects a preferred precoder from the set and feeds back this preferred precoder to the eNodeB in the form of a precoder index. Then eNodeB takes this feedback into consideration when it decides whether to use the suggested precoder or not.
  • the eNodeB also informs the UE via downlink (DL) control channels about the index of the used precoder. For LTE release 8, cell specific reference signals are transmitted in DL. The UE uses them to obtain channel estimates for the eNodeB antenna ports.
  • DL downlink
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • DRS Dedicated Reference Signal
  • TDD Time Division Duplex
  • SRS Sounding Reference Signal
  • PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
  • PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel
  • PUCCH and PUSCH contain reference signals for demodulation, typically covering the same bandwidth as the payload part whereas a sounding reference signals is not associated with transmission of any payload but only transmitted to enable uplink channel estimation with configurable bandwidth and periodicities.
  • a dedicated reference signal precoded in the same way as the data is used to demodulate the data transmission at the UE, and hence facilitates non- codebook based beamforming.
  • DRS provides simpler UE receiver, extra functionality needs to be implemented in the user equipment to support demodulation using UE specific reference signals in addition to demodulation using cell specific reference signals. This feature is an optional one, thus not all UEs in LTE systems are expected to support demodulation using user equipment specific reference signals. Moreover, the DRS occupy resources for each UE that can not be used for data transmission.
  • CRS Common Reference Signals
  • CQI Channel Quality Indicator
  • cell-specific reference signals are typically transmitted in all downlink subframes and over the entire bandwidth. This allows the user equipment to perform interpolation and averaging in the time and frequency domain to improve channel estimation. For the DRS, the user equipment is not allowed to do this but must only use the resource elements with reference signals within a single physical resource block pair. Hence, averaging is allowed only up to a bandwidth of 180 KHz and a time duration of 1 ms.
  • blind precoding has been proposed, which focuses on precoding matrix estimation at the receiver side for multi-stream transmission.
  • the blind precoding method is very sensitive to the UE movement and the corresponding Doppler spread. It has been shown that the time correlation between w DL (precoder weights determined at downlink receiver, i.e. eNodeB) and W U L (precoder weights determined at uplink receiver, i.e. UE) drops much faster than the correlation between the elements of the channel matrix. This indicates that after an Uplink (UL) and Downlink (DL) delay, the elements of H U L and H DL may still be related very closely, but the WUL and w DL can be largely different.
  • UL Uplink
  • DL Downlink
  • H U L and H DL are channel matrices for DL and UL direction respectively. So, it could only be applicable for the scenario with a slow time-variant channel, where H DL ⁇ H U L- Previously for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000 systems, downlink beamforming using common pilot signals, similar to CRS in the LTE system, have been studied, where the beams for data transmission are adapted to match the common pilot beam. Furthermore, previous designs for precoding using cell specific reference signals for WCDMA are designed for a single common reference signal and can hence not be used when there are multiple cell specific reference signals.
